    You know you're getting old when.....

    Had a real fun one this week.... Got one of the many pieces of junk mail from the AARP. It was at something like $5 a year for a membership, but I can spend that on annoying my wife, so I did. Got the card(s) in the mail. (Since I signed up it automatically makes her a member too) so I was...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    I have no idea where the game is being played, and just walked into the living room in time to see that and had one of the most dizzying levels of "what the living fuck is going on here?!?!?" I can remember.

    Street Fighter (2026)

    I hold this to the same bar I held the MK movie to. Does it realize what it is? Does it attempt to be the epitome of what it is? This should not be a high bar looking at the cast and trailers. What do I want to see? People fighting, Chun-li whipping ass, and innocent background cars getting...

    Yeah, it definitely doesn't work well for your long term "lifelong" strategy. In my case I'm only considering it this late as a way to help shave a little off the tax portion of what I'm going to owe diversifying out of a large overly-concentrated position.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    We recently took a few days out of town for the first time in a while. A certain someone is absolutely sure horrible things will happen to the animals (all self paced feeders, all able to self pace watering, dogs with an enclosed and climate controlled patio that has an always accessible doggie...

    That's part of the structure. I'm not buying a "fund". I am funding an account, then within that account their people buy all the individual stocks , buying and selling actual individual shares, and weaving around wash sale rules. So I don't own $100k of <fund>, I own $100k of individual...

    I agree, which is why I'm digging through their stuff right now. Just didn't know if anybody else was leveraging this strategy... Seems it's called "tax-loss harvesting via direct indexing". They manage an account and inside it they individually invest in a mix of stocks approximating an...

    So once again I come for an opinion from those who are deeper on these stock strategy topics than I am.. I have been working with an actual professional financial planner and they brought up one tool they wanted to talk about that made my "something seems fucky here" sense go off. A managed...
